About Pinch Kitchen

A Pinch of this, a Pinch of that.

Pinch Kitchen was born out of a simple philosophy: when quality is paramount, compromise is not an option. It’s an ethos Chefs John Gallo picked up while working in top restaurants. Having honed his craft for years, he decided to go out on his own in 2015 and open his passion project, Pinch Kitchen.

Nestled in Miami’s hip Upper East Side neighborhood, Pinch Kitchen is a throwback restaurant with an open kitchen, cozy vibe, and eclectic decor.

Awarded “Best New Restaurant in Miami,” by Miami New Times – 2016, Pinch Kitchen’s menu is a mix of locally sourced ingredients, boutique wines, and craft beers. The menu evolves seasonally to make sure only the freshest ingredients are on the menu, along with daily specials.

We invite you to come taste a few of our customer-favorite craft food choices like our delicious Seasonal Vegan Soup, K-town Guac, Ceviche, PEI Mussels, Skirt Steak, Wild Calamar, Organic Chicken, our Fish specials, a rotating Pasta dish, Artisan-Quality Charcuterie Boards or our famous Pinch Burger, just to name a few. If you are searching for a home to have Sat & Sun brunch we offer the most delectable Guava French toast with a bottomless Mimosa option that is set to please! Allow every bite of our craft foods to talk to you as your palate will be pleased. Welcome, Home!

Pinch Kitchen is open for Brunch, Lunch and Dinner

We invite you to try “A Pinch of this, a Pinch of that” – a motto that Pinch Kitchen was born from.

Cheers,

John Gallo

What I love most about Pinch — a creative kitchen started by veterans of Pubbelly and Casa Tua — is that it’s the kind of place where you can go for dinner with friends and order a host of sharing plates (pork dumplings, Spanish octopus, the Pinch salad which uses local greens, a housemade focaccia), or go for lunch with sweaty kids and order one of Miami’s best burgers. Plus they look for whatever is growing seasonally in South Florida and build their menu around it, supplementing with great ingredients flown in. 10/11/2019

The one-page menu, which will change according to seasonal ingredients, is concise but with enough variety for everyone at the table. Plates are meant to be shared, with portion sizes certainly generous enough for two. 11/05/2015

Head to Little River for a burger from Pinch Kitchen, but make sure it’s during brunch or lunch because that’s the only time it's on the menu. The burger is made with a special custom burger blend, a brioche bun, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, aioli, and fries. It’s served with house-made ketchup that has a surprisingly sweet kick to it, while brunch guests can add an egg to top off the burger. And bacon lovers can rejoice, because that’s always available as an addition. 09/24/2018
